Thanks For the Memories

I went the other way, cut a hole in the back wall and in the winter whenit is in the garage the front wheels are out on the back porch, in the summer when it is in the trailer the wall plug standing in the corner is inserted into the all and you cannot tell from the garage or back porch there is a hole

LOL Thats funny there and I always wondered if anyone beside me would go to that extreme to keep a car they love. I had a 245" RED that I was going to have the front go into the spare bedroom when winter came and it had to come out of the trailer. Luckily according to my wife we moved before winter hit and it fit in the new garage, but I had the sawzall ready. She kept asking, Are you really going to do that ? Now what cylinder heads are on this motor ?
